Chapter 2001: Chapter 73: Fragment_2
"Seventh-Tier Dao Domain!"
Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
Wang Ba’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, feeling a little unexpected and solemn inside.
The Vine Grinding Ghost King timely transmitted a message:
"Being able to open a gambling treasure shop here, and also setting up a Teleportation Array here, it’s likely that ordinary forces are not qualified enough... Characters of this caliber sitting here, it’s quite normal."
Wang Ba nodded slightly.
Seventh-Tier Dao Domain should be the pinnacle in this Sea of Chaos Realm.
Having a Seventh-Tier Dao Domain personally stationed here also shows how enticing the interests of this Wanbao Pavilion are.
The middle-aged cultivator with a yellow face saw that the other cultivators had quieted down, nodded in satisfaction, and then said:
"Everyone, I am Hao Zhao, the Vice Workshop Master of this Wanbao Pavilion. Opening treasures here is our honor. However, since you’re here, we also ask you to follow the rules here. You can place bids, but the old rules state that before bidding, capital verification is needed. If you don’t have enough chips but place a bid, please first exchange enough chips before proceeding. Our shop can also evaluate and exchange on your behalf..."
He paused and then looked at the Corpse-digging Ghost King and the bamboo pole cultivator and said:
"You two are the first to start bidding, would you be willing to show your chips?"
"Why wouldn’t I dare?"
The bamboo pole cultivator snorted coldly, casually flipped his sleeve, displaying a token-like item briefly before taking it back.
The middle-aged cultivator with the yellow face nodded immediately, then turned to the Corpse-digging Ghost King.
The Corpse-digging Ghost King maintained his expression:
"I haven’t exchanged my chips yet, I will do so right away."
Upon hearing this, a wave of boos erupted around him.
The bamboo pole cultivator’s expression also grew rather unpleasant.
The middle-aged cultivator with the yellow face shook his head slightly upon hearing this, but didn’t say much, speaking gently:
"Our shop also provides chip exchange services, so Taoist Friend can exchange them at any time. However, at present, only this Taoist Friend will be able to open the ninth Realm Embryo."
The Corpse-digging Ghost King suddenly received a transmission from Wang Ba, with a trace of surprise in his eyes, then nodded:
"Alright then, let this Taoist Friend open it."
After speaking, he shrank back into the crowd dejectedly.
"Is there any other Taoist Friend who wishes to open this ninth Realm Embryo?"
The middle-aged cultivator with a yellow face glanced around.
Yet, those who often watched here had somewhat discerning eyes, not believing that anything good could be opened from this ninth Realm Embryo, so they all shook their heads.
The middle-aged cultivator with the yellow face then looked at the bamboo pole cultivator and said warmly:
"Since there is no contention, and the previous Taoist Friend had not verified his capital, his bid is void. Hence, you may still open the ninth Realm Embryo for the minimum ten million chips; do you wish to continue?"
The bamboo pole cultivator did not hesitate:
"Open!"
Beside Wang Ba, the Corpse-digging Ghost King hiding within the crowd whispered:
"This Wanbao Pavilion doesn’t actually earn chips from selling Realm Embryos; its revenue comes from these surrounding gambling treasures. That’s why they’re so accommodating. Mountain Lord, do not be deceived by the Wanbao Pavilion’s people."
He had suffered losses in the past, thus knowing the nuances well.
Then he questioned curiously:
"Mountain Lord initially seemed determined to obtain the ninth Realm Embryo, why did you suddenly make me withdraw?"
Wang Ba bore a slight smile, shaking his head:
"No worries, I simply discovered something more interesting."
"More interesting?"
The Corpse-digging Ghost King was taken aback, scratching his head, unable to figure out Wang Ba’s intentions.
Quickly, the bamboo pole cultivator paid a painful ten million chips, despite suppressing the excitement in his heart, he still focused expectantly on the slowly opening Teleportation Array.
Opening Realm Embryos could only be done by the people from Wanbao Pavilion, of course, there were countless capable individuals here, and the Wanbao Pavilion’s people wouldn’t dare to fake things, so no one was concerned.
During this process, Wanbao Pavilion also opened a betting pool, with bets placed on Dao Treasures, Waste Fetuses, divine beasts, etc. Even those betting on Dao Treasures had finely detailed several Innate Cloud Bans.
Seeing Yu Wuheng and Yu Yu eagerly squeezing in front of the betting pool, Wang Ba moved inwardly, instructing the Vine Grinding Ghost King to give all remaining chips, exchanging some as well, to Yu Wuheng and Yu Yu, transmitting a message to Yu Wuheng to bet on Dao Treasures.
During the opening of the Teleportation Array, Wang Ba again sensed the presence of the Wind-Driving Staff’s fragment.
Yet he did not look towards the ninth Realm Embryo but instead carefully observed the bamboo pole cultivator, memorizing the other’s physical appearance and aura unmistakably.
Finally, the Teleportation Array opened smoothly, the betting pool sealed.
The cultivator who previously opened the Realm Embryo flew in again, then paused before the largest inky black Realm Embryo here.
"Dao Treasure!"
"Divine Beast!"
"Great Disaster!"
"..."
The low voices in the crowd seemed like muffled torrents, impacting this arena.
Wang Ba couldn’t help but look seriously at the inky black Realm Embryo, despite having a strong premonition, this moment still held a thread of nervousness.
Whoosh—
As the cultivator before the inky black Realm Embryo waved his hand!
Next moment, the realm-like sized Realm Embryo instantly and smoothly split open down the middle, falling to both sides!
Under the bamboo pole cultivator’s excitement and the crowd’s anxious watch.
An emerald-like palm-size stone abruptly flew out, rapidly.
Yet was seized by the cultivator in one grab!
As the Dao Domain and mana activated.
That emerald stone slightly trembled, then projected five azure colored Innate Cloud Ban virtual images around!
"Dao Treasure! Haha! I bet right!"
"Damn it! It’s Dao Treasure again!"
"Bet wrong, it’s not even middle grade! Such a large Realm Embryo only opened a lower grade Dao Treasure, garbage!"
The Corpse-digging Ghost King gloated:
"Ten million chips opened to a lower-grade Innate Dao Treasure, haha, this loss to shit, huh!"
